Interesting facts about Black-necked Stilts:

The Black-necked Stilt was first described 1776 by Philipp Ludwig Statius Müller, a German zoologist.

They feed in both salt and fresh water on half webbed feet that allow them to swim, although they rarely do.

They have the second-longest legs in proportion to their bodies of any bird, exceeded only by flamingos. ~ Whatbird.com
